Former Cowboy DeMarcus Ware always wanted to play for Steelers

Drafted with the 11th overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft, DeMarcus Ware had a Hall of Fame-worthy career with the Dallas Cowboys. Voted to the Pro Bowl nine times and named Defensive Player of the Year in 2011, Ware was one of the top pass-rushing talents of his generation.

Despite all the accolades he earned in Dallas, and the Super Bowl title he won with the Denver Broncos, it seems there is still something missing in Ware’s NFL career, something he would consider coming out of retirement to fix.

During an appearance on the NFL Network, while suggesting he was happy with his life away from football, Ware admitted there was one team in the league that could tempt him out of retirement if they came calling.

I always wanted to play for the Steel Curtain. For the Pittsburgh Steelers. I just feel like, if I just put on that yellow and black and come off the corner. I can make, whoa, just wreak havoc out there man.

I’ll be part of the Killer B’s baby, Ben, Bell and Brown and then put a W on the end, Ware.

There is little chance the 35-year old Ware will be getting that call anytime soon, with the Steelers flush with options at outside linebacker, but it is nice to know they have a fan in this former Cowboy. Perhaps he should have made these overtures towards Pittsburgh back in 2014 when he was actively looking for a new team and the Steelers could possibly have used him.
